Mike M Burke

Mike M Burke is best known for his 20+ years in the entertainment business. He started out as a stand-up comic at the age of 13 and by the time he was 16 was producing and starring in his very own comedy talk/variety TV show in Connecticut, USA. "Comedy After Dark starring Mike Burke" went on to produce 100 episodes over a span of 2 1/2 years. Four years after ending the show Mike wrote, produced, directed and starred in his first independent film "Murder After Dark." The comedy murder mystery would be the first of four films in a series. Mike continued making films having made fifteen to date with many more on the way.

While producing films, Mike had to earn an income by working full time blue collar jobs. In 2012 things went terribly wrong. Mike's best friend, who he had known since the 7th grade, turned on him and set out to get him fired so that he could steal his job. Just two years earlier Mike's friend had lost his job and was going through a tough time. Mike convinced his boss to hire his best friend because he wanted to help his friend and be there when he needed it. As a thank you this "friend" spread vicious lies and eventually sabotaged Mike's work. When Mike spoke up about it he was deceived by his boss and, for the first time in his life, was fired from his job. After that everything fell apart.

Mike was so stunned and devastated that he vowed to never work for another again. He created an Etsy shop selling a handmade item and offered videos and voice over work at Fiverr. Both proved to be successes but only produced part-time income. Mike pushed on. He discovered internet marketing and devoted most of his time to it. He believed this was what he needed to make it. His goal was to work a few hours a day and earn enough to pay bills and fund his films. Unfortunately, although he was making money in marketing, he was not able to replace the income he had lost from his now former job. His home went into foreclosure. He formed MMBWorKnight in order to take control over his internet marketing business. The goal was to be independent of all the cookie cutter internet marketing websites and systems. Mike worked 100% from home for about two and half years. He then eventually found a local full time job near his home to add to his income. He was now working a full time job, running a Etsy shop, and a Fiverr business. He made the decision to end the marketing business. As a replacement he joined Udemy as an instructor and offered courses based on what he learned working from home and running his own businesses.

For five years, since the betrayal of his now former best friend, Mike was living in pure hell. He faced a near death illness, was nearly electrocuted, had massive depression, lived without hot water for nearly 3 years due to a broken oil boiler, missed meals at times due to a lack of funds, had an allergy attack that was so bad he blacked out twice and smashed his head, lost hope, and almost took his life one summer July afternoon. During three years of these five he battled the bank as he tried to save his home. With his income back to normal they still didn't want to work with him. He never had a chance. He lost his long battle and the bank took his house leaving Mike with no home. It was the most devastating of all. It was his dream since 13 to own his very own house. He spent tons of time and money rehabbing it and was very happy there. He lost it all.

Since then he has spent every waking hour rebuilding his life. He has found new ways to earn an income from home and is currently in the process of growing his business in order to go back to 100% self employment. He has also returned to film production.
